UNITED STATES OSCAR E. BLOOMQUIST, OF MOMENCE, ILLINOIS.

STOVE.

Application filed April 8,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OSCAR E. BLOOMQUIST, a citizen of the United States, residing at Momence, in the county of Kankakee and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in oil stoves and has for an object the provision of a stove which is capable of use either for heating or cooking To this end, the invention aims to provide a stove of sectional formation, having the sections detachably secured together and arranged so that one section will form an oven which is heated by a burner carried by the other section and the burner arranged for use after the manner of the usual cook stove burner when one of the stove sections is removed, or for use as a combined heater and oven when the sections are connected.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention further includes the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings Figure 1 is an elevation of a stove constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same.

Figure 3 is a section on the line 33 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a detail elevation of the lower section of the stove.

Figure 5 is an enlarged section on the line 5-5 of Figure 4.

Figure 6 is a fragmentary top plan View of the stove.

Figure 7 is a fragmentary elevation showing the connection between the upper and lower sections of the stove.

Referring in detail to the drawings wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the improved stove as shown comprises a lower section 10 and an upper section 11, both of which are shown as of cylindrical formation, but may be of any suitable or desired shape.

The lower section 10 is supported upon legs 12 which extend from beneath an annular flange or apron 13, while a similar flange or apron 14 extends around the upper edge of the section. Located within the 1924. Serial No. 705,094.

portion of the stove casing which forms the section 10 is a burner 15. This burner is illustrated in detail in Figure 3 of the drawings and includes inner and outer sleeves 16 and 17 respectively and an intermediate sleeve 18, the latter being spaced from the '4 the sleeves 17 and 18. The sleeves extend through the top 23 of the lower section 10 and the plate 21 extends over the top of the section and is provided with a marginal flange 24 and with spaced ribs 25. These ribs 25 and the flange 24 provide a gratelike support for the reception of cooking utensils sothat the lower section of the stove may be used for frying, boiling and so forth.

Fuel is supplied to the burner from a conduit 26 which extends transversely across the bottom of the burner and communicates with the space between the sleeves 16 and 18 through openings 27. The conduit extends upon the outside of the section 10 and is provided with a sleeve 28 for the reception of the tubular casing 29 of a valve, the said tubular casing extending from an oil reservoir 30. Oil may thus be fed from the reservoir to the conduit and to the burner.

The reservoir 30 is preferably of semicircular shape and extends substantially one-half the circumference of the section 10 and is supported upon the said section by spaced brackets 31 so as to be removable therefrom for filling or cleaning. A valve 32 controls the passage of fuel to the burner 15.

The stove is provided with a door 33 having a damper 34 therein and is further provided with spaced openings 35 upon opposite sides of the door.

The section 11 is removably secured to the section 10 and is placed in position when the stove is used as a heater or for baking so as to provide an oven. For this purpose the section 11 is provided with lugs 36 which are adapted to be engaged by longitudinally movable hooks 37. These hooks extend through the flange or apron 13 and are slidingly mounted as at 38, being yieldingly by a rotatable damper 43. This damper is provided with a finger 44 which extends through a slot in the top of the section 11,.

and provides means whereby the damper may be manipulated: A handle 46 is secured to the section 11 so as to provide convenient means for carryingthe stove.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions and minor details of construction and the right is herein reserved to make such changes as properly fall: within the scopeof the appended claims.

Having described the invention what is claimed is 1. An oil stove comprisinga casing including a lower section and an upper section, means detachably securing the sections together, a burner located within the lower section and extending through and forming part of the top of the latter, the top of said tion, a flange surrounding the top of the lower section, lugsextending from the upper section, longitudinally movable hooks extending through the flange and engaging the lugs to removably hold the sections together and yieldabl'e means located beneath the flange and engaging the hooks to hold said hooks in engaged position.

3. An oil stove comprising in combination a cylindrical casing, a burner, a substantially semi-circular reservoir; positioned upon the outside of the casing,1neans for removably supportingthe reservoir, a valve controlled oil conduit for thelburner and a telescopic connection between the reservoir and conduit.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
